  Sweet and pure flavors. Balanced structure. Focused flavors with smokey background. Medium weight and long finish. Has delicious factor.

  Pinots & Chard with The Terroirist (Extra Space): Tasted blind. Pop and poured.
  Appearance is clear, medium intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with an initial blast of funkiness that blew off to reveal aromas of dark red cherries, loamy earth, smoky oak, sweet baking spices. Developed.
  On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, medium+ alcohol, smooth medium tannins, medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of sweet licorice, smoky oak, baking spice, loamy earth, dark red cherries. Long finish.
  Guessed an aged NZ Pinot Noir. Very good quality. Drinking well now. Drink up over the next 2-3 years.
  NZ Pinot when done well does have the potential to age gracefully.

  Very Burg (Gevrey) feeling NZ Pinot. Good structure / composition. No new-world nose, but more classical Pinot. More black than red fruit. Interesting.

  Dark in color in the way only a New World Pinot would be, the nose is not overdone. There are strong and enticing sweet strawberry and raspberry aromas, but also plenty of sweaty socks and gym shorts. The palate does not have nearly the sweetness that the nose would suggest, and it begins with a bit of that funk, but not so much that it is off-putting. After six years in the bottle, the tannin is mostly resolved, and the wine's texture is very smooth. The mid-palate and finish show plenty of acid, so there is still a firm sense of structure even though the wine has some delicacy and finesse. There is also secondary maple and wet forest flavors behind everything. Overall, this is a very good wine. Is it worth the $40 CT average value? Probably not quite, but I only paid a pro-rated $33, and it probably just hits that mark. This is a good wine now, but there is enough acid to keep this alive for a good while yet, and there may be additional secondary development over the next few years. Adding some mushroom and soil flavors would definitely help. It is not infanticide to drink this right now, but it wouldn't be wrong to hold it for awhile, either.
